After many warm and cozy meal propositions for a bit depressing winter weather it is finally time for something light and fresh! I have been really craving salad for a few weeks, however not green one. I really wanted to create something with unique and interesting flavour but also easy to prepare . Inspired by Sarah from My New Roots I decided to create my own version of red cabbage salad (the first in my life) and it wouldn’t have came off even better and tastier!

The combination of the ingredients is just perfect and thanks to mint and orange the salad is so fresh. I fell in love with it to such an extent that I have eaten it for the previous week nearly every day! It reminds me the taste of the spring that is hopefully coming soon.

The good thing is once you prepare it you can enjoy it for the couple of days because the portion from on cabbage is quite big! It is absolutely fine to keep it in the fridge! What is interesting the flavour is even much more improved and the salad is more tasteful! It is a perfect idea for lunch as well as dinner!  So as you can see it has only advantages!

You definitely have to try this groundbreaking red cabbage salad! It is super easy and quick to prepare and the taste is amazing!
